i thought accounts got killed after 6 months of no logging in?.

what happened in 2008 is as follows: ALL of the accounts were SUSPENDED, not DELETED. 12-18 months later some users attempted to log into the accounts and were successful. Word was spread around. My guess is that all accounts where suspended, the suspension ended, time passed (say the 6 month window you stated) and accounts then naturally expired, however between the lifting of the suspension date and the 6 month expiry date from end of suspension date, accounts could be resurrected and this was discovered.

if you don't believe me, ask gep. He was one of the biggest item collector's @ EU since inception. Anyone thats old will know him. I told him at the time, he tried his accounts and got into a bunch of them (not all). I ended up with the plague pale stygians (MLD). most of the item collectors were crushed at the time since they were hit the worst. They simply quit the game.

I recognize the name gep, used to have quite a few of his items in TR back then iirc? didnt realize they would only suspend for 'closed(8)'

I just hope this doesn't happen.. I thought it only happened to who have used mods in the last 3 months or so..


this sounds like you might get lucky then dude. if you didnt get hit last time with a suspension, then maybe they will only suspend you this time instead of full blown ban. GL

WSG EU : No swap weapons, more then once, without using an attack, so for instance, i am a bowa, pew pew pew, oh shit here comes a trapper, i better run away, crap, mind blast, switch to jav slot, switch back to bow, MUST fire Arrow to be fair, switch back to jav. its the compromise vs switching repeatedly with no attention of attacking, purely to escape namelock mindbast. the same applies with nec's.

Worrywart if you cant duel right now, ehmmm, any time friday evening if you want or saturday/sunday evening.


I'm working 3pm-11:30pm or 11am-11pm est until next Thursday. We can shoot for then.

To make the point about needing wsg you'll need to be playing something that would need wsg. So not a charging paladin or a bowa.

OFC U BELIEVE ME, i meant there is bad blood between myself and meegz1 which is why HE might not believe me. Cant be friends with everyone in life, that would be too boring, and fake.
Yes it was a suspension. its advised that anyone banned (ever) for any reason, if continuing to play the game, re-attempts logon every 6 months. I think the problem alot of the collectors had however was that the char's were player not found (i.e. name taken), or simply didnt know it was a suspension, not a full ban. (even if blizzard at the time called it a ban, it was only a temp ban).

I'd be interested if both parties kept to 100frw too (excl. BoS on an assassin)

Sounds good.

Also about the last couple pages, 2008 ban wave took out half the pvp community because they banned for a fucking loader people used to xfer themselves. It wasn't about mods.

Against trapper? No, they don't. ESP if you define wsg the way ferdia does
